Hello! Thank your for stopping by today. I do appreciate your visit. The newest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a fun one. I love it and you're going to as well.

Our challenge is sponsored by DRS Designs and my card features two of their stamps. Bird on a Branch and Happy Moments, Happy Days Greeting. Perfect for a masculine card!

I was positively inspired by a couple of players last week who used text in their background. I remembered that I have this cool paper in my stash and it worked great with the image. I picked up an Archival Ink pad at 40% off so I can do a little (very little) watercolor. I colored the bird with Tombow markers and blender pens on Bristol Smooth card stock. The card is a blend of neutrals, some very muted robin's egg blue and Kraft. I decorated the envelope as well.

The inside has this simple but beautiful greeting.

It's a perfect birthday greeting without even saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." It can be added if one so chooses. I am just so pleased with how this turned out.

Please be sure to visit the team's blogs, too. They'd love to hear from you.

About Me

I am a mother of 3 amazing teenagers that keep me busy! In my spare time, I love to cook, read (I rarely watch TV), stamp and scrapbook. I've been a papercrafter for 17+ years and I love every minute of it. I decided I didn't have enough to do, so I also "own" a challenge blog, Tuesday Morning Sketches.
